Brief story:

Our estate grown Sagrantino is a boutique-scale effort; it is a traditionally-made deep red wine that transports tasters to the site of its origin – the rolling hills of Montefalco, Umbia, Italy. A rare find in California, this varietal is relatively unknown in the new world but is now sparking major curiosity and accolades from both the casual traveller and the serious wine critic. We have painstakingly cultivated this highly regarded Sagrantino vineyard over the years with careful sustainable farming. The resulting wine makes a bold but approachable statement with dark inky fruit, substantial dusty tannins, and a long smooth finish.
